Butter!

As many of you know I am not a morning person. When I say "not a morning person," I do not mean that I am unpleasant for a few minutes after I get out of bed. I am unpleasant until I have had lunch. With this in mind...

This Sunday I was in my normal fog and trying to be as social as possible, which is always a challenge for myself. During Sunday school I was able to drop in on a few classes. I was very refreshing and encouraging to listen in on the classes I got to see. Our rising 7th Grade students, a.k.a. the Disciples of Kathy, are more than ready for the challenges that are about to face them. Our 8th graders all left class with a smile and even Nick Terry seemed to be filled with joy going of of 3 hours of sleep. Our 9th grade class was incredible social and talkative even with "Cory the Hottie" in the room. Our senior class was so deep in conversation that they didn't dismiss until around 12:25 pm. Johnny Davis has jumped back in to help out in the 10th grade class, and our Juniors are continuing their quest for world domination in the name of Jesus.

As I love to see Sunday School has emerged again as the biggest part of the week for our student ministry. Loving adults investing in the lives students...(to quote Steven Battle's new word for awesome things)...That's Butter!

YoWoMe Follow-up

schee! (whatever sound a walkie talkie makes)

Per the youth worker meeting - I ordered about 10 different precept studies that we will have on hand for different classes to use. I have two of each book for teachers to share.

Football season is upon us. You can check the davidson county schools website for fall sports schedules.

This Monday is the first day of school for davidson county schools. I will have rolls Sunday for you to take home, complete with phone numbers and contact info.

Things you might of missed from the 3rd part of our Sunday school teacher session. Michael spoke, Matt had the following self revelation:

"Perhaps the reason youth worker meetings are so random is because pretty much all of us as youth workers understand that loving students is our first priority and therefore it when you try to motivate already motivated people you get random moments of sanity followed by humor."
